It sounds great that Donald Trump has lifted food tariffs, and the article above says it will benefit grocery chains in Canada, but will those grocery chains lower prices for us minions?

Hardly. While they raise prices, they rarely, if ever, lower prices for consumers. Instead, they just get more revenue for their profits, and we minions will just continue to get paid for coals and continue to pay higher prices.

REAL STORY ABOUT SALE OF A HOUSE

Re: Federal budget housing math doesn’t add up, column, November 15.

I recently read the above article written by Dave Wilkes, President and CEO of the Building Industry and Land Development Association.

He began: In budget states, “home sales have increased in five of the last six months.”

He states that this does not reflect the reality happening in major urban centres. The latest numbers tell a different story and show a “serious downward trend,” he wrote, adding: “Year-to-date new home sales have fallen sharply in Canada's largest municipalities compared to the 10-year average.”

It then proceeded to provide the correct data provided by third party tracking agencies.

Question: Why was this column buried on page 15 of the Saturday Sun? This is important information that the general public should know. He exposes the Carney government's attempt to distort the true facts in order to disguise what is really happening.

It seems that “distorting” the truth is in the DNA of liberals.

Difference between Carney and Trudeau? Indistinguishable.

GENERATIONAL DEBT

To say that I am disappointed with the passed federal budget is a gross understatement. Those who voted for this are now officially recognized as the most out of touch and anti-Canadian MPs we have ever had.

Mark Carney's statement that the budget is a “generational investment” is another expression of generational debt. We will never be able to climb out of the hole that liberals past and present have dug us into.
